Waveterm

Job Title: Founding Software Engineer --- Date: 2024

Wave terminal is building the future of the command line. Wave is a modernized, AI Powered, cross platform, cloud based terminal, allowing developers to access more power, speed and efficiency at their fingertips. I decided to leave Apple to join Mike Sawka in building his vision of a modern terminal. I was employee #3 when joining, and I have a lot of personal responsibility in terms of designing and implementing features, driving the direction of the company, communicating with customers, and working independently. During my time at Wave so far, I have worked on a few interesting features, including but not limited to: A real time PTY data streaming system that allowed for efficient communication between the frontend and the backend of Wave, as well as persistence of the data upon restarting of Wave. The system is optimized so that large amounts of data can be stored and transmitted without creating bottlenecks. Wave handles several pty sessions at once, so it was important for the frontend to be able to load data quickly in order to have fast and responsive UI. I also built the AI Assistant functionality inside Wave. Users can ask our AI Assistant to help them write commands, explain errors, give information on commands, or write code. I built an AWS Lambda cloud server to handle completion requests, allowing users to have the power of AI at their fingertips while they are developing. I used Golang and SQL as well as some React JS

Apple

Job Title: Software Engineer --- Date: 2022

Apple is a well known electronics company, currently the largest company in the world. I currently work as a software engineer at apple writing software for visual rendering and screen recording pipelines within the MacOS and iOS kernel. I use Objective C and C++, and my job involves working with image buffers, configuring hardware devices, building rendering pipelines, and designing and creating complex systems to perform tasks within the kernel. I work on FaceTime and Screen Recording and I have had a large role in designing and developing high profile features that have reached customers. I am limited in what I can disclose due to my NDA, but the features that I work on have been used by millions of customers. It is definitely pretty cool to know that my software is being used by millions of people. I work on a small team of ~10 people and I am involved in projects that affect a larger team of about 100 people. A lot of my job consists of communication, public speaking and design, so I have developed those skills through this job. I am also a go to resource throughout the company for knowledge about features I designed and maintain. I also do data science and telemetry work with splunk

Reliable Robotics

Job Title: Flight Software Engineering Intern --- Date: 2021

Reliable Robotics is a startup based in Mountain View, California that creates autonomous airplane technology to transport cargo and people. The mission is cheaper air travel and making airplanes more accessible and easier to use.
I worked on flight software at Reliable Robotics. At the time I was working there, there were about 60 employees, so it was very tight knit and I was able to have a lot of personal responsibility. I worked closely with a team of about 5-10 engineers and I worked on the flight software platform. I wrote code in C and C++ that communicated with hardware and operating systems to allow the flight software to run. I worked extensively with telemetry, ethernet drivers, state machines, and more. I also wrote shell scripts, python code and network configurations for other aspects of the codebase. All the software I wrote had to comply with FAA certification, so I understand the certifiable process and I know how to write really good code and how to test it to make sure deterministically that there are no bugs

Code Ninjas

Job Title: Teacher --- Date: 2018

Code Ninjas is a school where young kids come to learn computer science at a young age. It tries to provide a curriculum and a community that is fun and gets kids into the field, giving them a head start.
I was a teacher at Code Ninjas. I taught children computer science. I had a good time doing it and I learned a lot of interpersonal skills. I was one of the first employees at the Code Ninjas in Columbia, so I was able to create some of the exercises and teaching methods that are used there now.
